Question

Work out the height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m2

Answer 1

Area formula of a parallelogram is
        A = base x height

Given are the
Area = 60 m² and base = 10 m

 Substitute the given:

60 = 10h  (divide by 10 to find value of h)
$\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10h}{10}$  (10 and 10 cancels out)

h = 6
The height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m² is 6m
